No quit in Larranaga as he rebuilds his program

While the ACC's other veteran coaches wind down their careers, Miami's coach is making moves like his is just beginning

Three consecutive losing seasons with two years left on his contract. Blake James is playing the PR game so he is simply going to let his contract expire.

It is really scary to read L raving about guys like Gak and Rodney Miller. Those should be reserves playing 10 minutes a game at best.

It says everything you need to know about the current state of the head coach.
He is loyal to the end.

And/or delusional.

Well, this is the first time since Gak has been on campus he is 100% healthy. Hard to assess. He may surprise and give valuable minutes.

He surprised me last year by not fumbling the ball every time it was passed to him.

Possibly. He was a highly rated recruit out of high school. But let's be honest, at best he will be a solid contributor off the bench. We aren't winning anything of significance with this frontcourt.

I'll take solid contributor for 30-plus games.

I mean, that's fine if our aspirations are to go to the NIT. We aren't going to be a top tier ACC team (let alone a mid-tier one) trotting out Rodney Miller and Deng Gak on a nighty basis.

They're all he's got

Which should be a Fireable offense. He can’t recruit bigs worth a ****, but at least he could’ve gotten someone halfway decent in the portal.

It's embarrassing to read L talking up his jags. You don't need to be Pat Riley to see that Miller and Gak aren't good basketball players.

Which is crazy because Larranaga was original portal king with the likes of Larkin & Kenny Kadji. Had me fooled in the beginning, but He turned out to be a coRch.

Larranaga did well with transfers before the transfer portal market became extremely competitive like it is today.
